McNabb is a veteran defender who would fit in as a #1D on several NHL teams. He logs big minutes in key situations for the Golden Knights, matching up against top opponents.
The bulk of his TOI comes at ES and PK.
McNabb plays a heavy / physical / shot blocking style.
He makes life miserable on opponents in the hard areas of the ice and never backs down from secondary battles.
Offense isn't his element, but he's efficient moving the puck and provides some depth offense.
Since becoming a full time NHL player he has, incredibly, never been a minus player on the (+/-) scale.
Through his first 670 NHL games, McNabb is an incredible (+111)
Averages 20:25 TOI - 17:07 ES - No PP - 3:16 SH
In his first twelve game segment, to start the 23/24 season, he produced 0G-6A to go along with 16 hits and 38 shot blocks
